L2 cache comparison roundup - E7200 vs E8500 plus QX9770 - lets take a look
-
Well a E7200 is on my shopping list for my HTPC. Looks like the extra cache doesn't make all that much difference for the extra $ for the E8500!
-
thx so much for this test, been looking for something like this
good to know that games almost don't take advantage from the extra cache
-
Very interesting. Thank for your effort.
-
Have you run any demo's of games? Whats the real world performance difference like?
-
Nice comparison :up:, however would had like to see some comparsion in some Games if it was possible
-
thx guys
Crysis ,Call of Juarez DX10 & Company of Heroes will be tested soon
:)
-
this is cool! it shows how much the cache actually does.
-
Thanks for the review. I so want a E7200 [or a 7300 by the time I get around to buying it].
-
Great comparison :)
But, Graphs that don't start at 0 are hard to interpret at a glance, this one for example:

I was like OMG WTF CACHE CAKES, then I realized the graph didnt start at 0 :)
-
nice comparison,just realize the difference between L2 cache
E8500 just want i need
-
It would be nice if the graphs crossed at 0, so ppl could make a better judgment.
But, awesome information, nonetheless!

Graphs at 0? Why, didnt you learn to read them in school?
If you cared to look at the scale used starting at 0 would make some really really poor graphs, hence why the numbers are included (graphs are just quick visual references to most anyone who knows how to use them anyways).
-
excellent comparison PcCI2iminal.. i bet that alot of people will find this really helpful. :up:
-
so the only reason the quad wins in most is because it has double number of cores instead of double the cache right?
-
Thank you for the writeup, lots of good info :) .
If its not too much to ask, do you think you could include some game benchmarks where you show MIN / MAX FPS?
You can buy an E8300 for $30 more than an E7200, I think the extra cache is worth it. You lose the 9.5x multiplyer, but i think 8.5x is fine if you can tweak your board well enough

I think you'll find graphs started at 0 in school, Graphs for advertising / marketing start elsewhere...
If the graph starts at 0 you can look at the bars or whatever and say "hmmm that one is about 10% faster." What use is a graph as a "visual reference" if it implies that the e8500 is twice as good as the e7200
Also stop being so :banana::banana::banana::banana:y, you were incorrect...

I agree, it's great to see a user comparison but the graphs skew the perception - 'marketing' vs 'real performance difference.' Scores as a percentage along with the absolute scores would give a more realistic impression.
-
I see all these people hawking the E6xxx, E4xxx and E2xxxx chips and they all are
asking for $100, + OR - $20 and i think to myself, i could get a.....
Intel Core 2 Duo E7200 Wolfdale 2.53GHz 3MB L2 Cache LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Processor
for $126 delivered..... and it makes me wonder.....
New or Old, Think I take the New....
-
dont make your graphs look like ther eis such a HUGE difference in the scores, its really confusing visually. the scores are very minor, make the graphs show the differences are only minor.
-
The game benchies still going to come out?
-
Found this in a german hardware mag :

It's at only 1.8Ghz sir, if you use the CPU's at 3ghz gaps will be bigger
